How It Works

A four-step
tasting menu.

01

Discovery Call

We start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, your team, and where revenue is leaking. No pitch deck. Just an honest conversation.

02

Tailored Plan

I build a focused plan around the package or hourly support that fits — with clear deliverables, timelines, and measurable revenue outcomes from day one.

03

Build & Launch

We handle the heavy lifting — concepting events, writing the copy, training your team, configuring your systems, and pushing campaigns out the door. You stay focused on your guests; we run the playbook for you.

04

Track & Iterate

Every month we review what worked, what didn't, and where to push next. The goal isn't a pretty deliverable — it's a healthier P&L.

Meet the Founder

Strategy that lives on the floor, not just on paper.

I'm Amy Bates — a hospitality operator turned consultant. I've spent my career inside restaurants, bars, and beverage programs — building events, writing menus, training teams, and obsessing over the numbers behind every shift.

Eat + Drink Consulting is the playbook I wish every operator had: practical, revenue-first, and built around what your team can actually execute on a Tuesday night.
